Scripps College junior Dawn Gardner and other students writing an exam in Eucalyptus Court; one of a series of photographs for Life Magazine. Typed on verso - "ANSWER SIXTEEN. BE AS BRIEF AS POSSIBLE. Dawn picked a chair in the Eucalyptus Court outside the exam room. The Honor System allows Scripps girls to write an exam in and around Balch hall without proctors. The hours seem roomy, the exam a little stiff. But the next to the last quesiton recalled a good joke [Professor] Merlan had told; Dawn liked that question."
